Configurable Display for Off-Road Vehicle Engines with SAE J1939 interface
Posted by on
The EngineMonitorPlus is a display and control device with a CAN Bus interface designed specifically for use in off-road vehicle engines. It supports the most common messages (PGN, Parameter Group Number) of the SAE J1939 standard. Furthermore, it provides a simple configuration of displayed parameters, errors (DM1), and service messages, allowing the user to configure and customize it for specified applications.
The configuration feature utilizes three pages with two layout options on each page. One quadrant layout value can be switched via buttons or time-based. Values in the row view and four-quadrant layout can be shown at one time. In a password-protected menu, the engine control, additionally SCR / DPF regeneration, and SCR / DPF warning lamp can be activated. The software is available for two display variants. With an IP67 grade, both are ideally suited to operate under rough environmental conditions.
Supported parameters include:
- Engine Percent Load At Current Speed
- Engine Oil Level
- Engine Air Inlet Pressure
- Accelerator Pedal
- Engine Oil Pressure
- DPF Active Regen Status
- Actual Engine - Percent Torque
- Engine Coolant Pressure
- Engine Speed
- Engine Coolant Level
- Auxiliary Temperature
- Exhaust High Temp Lamp
- Engine Fuel Rate
- Auxiliary Pressure #1
- Engine Total Hours of Operation
- Engine Instantaneous Fuel Economy
- Total Engine Revolutions
- Engine Average Fuel Economy
- Wheel-Based Vehicle Speed
- Engine Trip Fuel
- Engine Throttle Position
- Engine Total Fuel Used
- Barometric Pressure
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- And many more…
SAE J1939 Starter Kit And Network Simulator
Our J COM.J1939 Starter Kit And Network Simulator is designed to allow the experienced engineer as well as the beginner to experiment with SAE J1939 data communication without the need of connecting to a real-world J1939 network, i.e. a diesel engine. It may sound obvious, but in order to establish a network, you need at least two nodes, and that fact applies especially to CAN/J1939 where the CAN controller will basically shut down after transmitting data without receiving a response. For that reason, our jCOM.J1939 Starter Kit And Network Simulator consists of two J1939 nodes, namely our jCOM.J1939.USB, an SAE J1939 ECU Simulator Board With USB Port.

As they say, a picture tells a thousand words. The above image demonstrates a predicament we encountered a few days ago. The enclosure we are using for our SAE J1939 Gateway And Data Logger With Real-Time Clock is not available at the moment, and it might take a few more months before new supplies arrive. At [...]
Any CAN Bus, SAE J1939, NMEA 2000 Development Requires the Right Testing Tools
I want to reiterate a point made in a previous post ("A Beginner's Guide to SAE J1939 Embedded Software Development"): When developing and testing your CAN Bus application, may it be Classical CAN, CAN FD, CANopen, SAE J1939, or NMEA 2000, you need to connect your device to a functional network. One solitary node connected to your [...]
